Indiana leads U.S. in manufacturing job growth

A total of 4,300 positions were added last month, which makes the amount of new jobs created since June 2009 equal to 64,000. That number puts Indiana at second in the nation.

Governor Mike Pence told the Indianapolis Recorder that he is encouraged by the report, and that even though many residents are still out of work, he anticipates the progress to continue.
